I wish I could turn that function OFF ! Or, I wish it would at least just flash an ice warning and then go back to the mph. My problem is, I'm cruising along on an arterial at about 37 mph, then I speed up, but I look and still see "37". Next thing I know, I'm going 40 or 45, and then I notice that it's not 37 mph but rather 37 degrees ... I think it's a good warning, and I really like the temp option (when I select it), but I don't like the way the ice warning just trumps the speed reading.

I think mine is broke. 3 days ago mine said 1....ouch.
It comes on when the temp is 37 degrees but does not mean is icy but only possible. You still need moisture right?

The outside air temperature mode includes a low
temperature warning feature: below 37°F (3°C),
the outside air temperature mode is automatically
selected and the ICY indicator will illuminate
in order to draw the driver’s attention. Press
the mode switch A if you wish to return to the
mode that was selected before the warning
occurred. The ICY indicator will continue blinking
as long as the temperature remains below
39°F (4°C).
The ambient temperature sensor is located in
front of the radiator. The sensor may be affected
by road or engine heat, wind directions and
other driving conditions. The display may differ
from the actual ambient temperature or the
temperature displayed on various signs or billboards.
